Property Description

Stunning custom-built American Four-Square set on a professionally landscaped 75 wide lot in the heart of the Historic District, just blocks from downtown La Grange, the commuter train, and highly acclaimed schools. From the moment you step inside, the dramatic two-story foyer and living room make an unforgettable first impression, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship throughout, including quarter-sawn oak millwork, French doors, plantation shutters, and custom window treatments. The gracious living room with a wood-burning fireplace flows seamlessly into the elegant dining room featuring a built-in breakfront with leaded glass display cabinets and an inset mirror. A private first-floor office with double French doors provides the perfect work-from-home space. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the sun-filled rear great room features a timeless white kitchen with Craftsman-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, center island, designated coffee station, and spacious breakfast area. The adjacent family room offers a wall-to-wall built-in entertainment center with open shelving and sliding glass doors leading to the backyard deck. A convenient main-floor laundry/mudroom with additional exterior access adds functionality and ease. The second floor offers four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, including a luxurious primary suite with dual closets and a beautifully updated private bath featuring a double oak vanity and walk-in steam shower. The finished basement provides exceptional additional living space with a large recreation room, exercise room, playroom, third full bath with walk-in shower, cedar-lined walk-in closet, workshop, and abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a welcoming front porch overlooking a picturesque tree-lined street and a private, fully fenced backyard oasis featuring mature shade trees, lush flowering perennials, expansive deck, flagstone patio with multiple seating areas, and an oversized 2.5-car garage with ample storage. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed home in one of La Grange's most desirable locations - simply move in and enjoy.
